Martavis expendable?

all of this... yet Todd Haley keeps trying to feed him flanker screens like he's Eli Rogers lol

In all seriousness... MB has been fighting a lot harder for balls the last several weeks. His numbers aren't going to WOW anyone at this point...but his trajectory is certainly pointing upward. He's a far cry from where he was 8 weeks ago...when several of the members on here were ready to "Cut him". To use a popular phrase on here...im glad the FO doesn't listen to the board membership on here lol

All you have to do is youtube some of his clips (I'm particular to his ARZ TD; as well as the one vs. OAK; also vs. SEA; CIN is nice...) to know why. Frankly, it is baffling that this guy has seemingly forgotten how to do what he's always done, which is make huge plays. He's now somehow become Markus Wheaton.

I'm counting on one of those humongous plays vs. NE*. Their attention will be on AB, and Juju. They'll not be able to focus any of it on MB.

You are right Shoe. MB had some moves back then but I haven't seen anything like those since he returned. Someone else mentioned the added muscle might have something to do with it. Donno. But he still can make plays on crossers, slants, and fly routes. Just don't pass him the ball when he is at a stop.

Not sure what you mean by the highlighted phrase. I think the last sentence in the 1st paragraph is to be determined.

Which is on Haley IMO.
